The Volkswagen Type 2, more commonly known as the VW Camper, is instantly recognisable and car websites are still full of old and new versions up for sale.

It was first introduced by the German car makers in 1950 and has been used by millions ever since.

Rising to worldwide popularity during the counterculture movement of the 1960s it became an icon for the time.

When people think of this period they would say The Beatles, the peace symbol and of course the VW camper van.

It has stood the test of time as today it still remains popular amongst hippies and campers alike for its practicality, endurance and of course it's look.

Here we have chosen 10 on sale which could be perfect for the summer, whether it's a camping trip or driving to a festival.
